it might not look like much, but cutting this bolt gave me so much satisfaction

i tried an impact wrench, an air hammer, a cutting wheel, a sawzall... but the dremel to the head of the bolt is what did it.

Know I probably should wait for help but I did it on my own anyways. Too excited now that the bolt is out

Now don't forget the "engine bay" picture...

Been a long summer. Haven't had much chance to work on it. But I needed to make room for my snow blower and it's motivated me to get working again



Installed my 1.9 rockers, IC and ported intake and supercharger

Also had a chance to remove the old engine and transmission.

hey what's up man!

You still have the 87?
fierogt455 FEB 10, 04:41 PM
Yes, I still have "Thelma" (brought a 87 SE as a daily driver that I call "Louise"). I recently completed the 13" Corvette front brake upgrade with 12" upgrade on the rear. I'll moved to NC so after last summer I will definitely be adding AC. Do you recall if the harness has the AC plug?
ignorant prodigy FEB 10, 05:55 PM
nice! so happy to hear it's being maintained and upgraded.

nope, don't think it does. FIEROFLYER built the harness. I don't think it'd be difficult to add though.
I'm pretty sure i stripped out all of the AC parts when I did the swap though, so it might be a ***** to get all the parts back in.
